Perth Trip

We just got back from our trip up to Perth for the weekend. It was good to get out of town and back to our friends. On Saturday night we went out for dinner to Krayaharn Thai Restaraunt with Greg, David, Daniel and Yvette and Stacey's sister Shelley. On the way up to Perth on Friday night we ran into a little water on the road near Albany Hwy about 25km south of Arthur River. The water was accross the road in two places about 100m wide and up to about 30cm deep. My little Festiva only just got through the water (not helped by someone coming in the other direction creating waves) and we made the rest of the journey without a hitch. The hitch came this morning when we got in the car to go to the movies. We had been driving around to the shops all yesterday without any problems, but today there was a sound of scraping metal, it's pitch keeping in tune with the revs of the engine. So instead of going to the movies we decided to call Stacey's dad and ask him to take a look at it. It was a good thing we did, as one of the pullies that drive the belts was stuffed. Kevin took it out and managed to replace the bearing in it (Thank you so much, we really appreciate it). Kevin is great like that, he has a great assortment of goodies in his shed and will help out whenever he can. I'll have to make sure I make it up to him next time we are up in Perth. After Kevin fixed the car we had no problems on the way home. We took a different route home of course!
